The female of this species closely resembles that of carlini but 

 is readily separated from it by the regularly punctate clypeus. 



Andrena flexa n. sp. Female. — Black, shining. Hairs on lower margin 

 of clypeus brownish, remainder of hairs on head and thorax yellowish 

 white, abdominal fasciae white, dense, interrupted centrally; hairs on legs 

 whitish or yellowish, those on base of hind tibise, above, brownish. Legs 

 brownish black. Wings slightly brownish, especially at apices ; veins 

 dark brown. 



Head about one fifth broader than high ; fovese whitish, tapering to a 

 point slightly below lower margin of antennal sockets and narrowly sepa- 

 rated from eyes; clypeus shining, with subcontiguous, deep punctures and 

 a distinctly elevated median impunctate linear space; malar space linear 

 except posteriorly, impunctate; back of head about 1.5 times as broad as 

 eye; labrum truncate apically, sides convergent; mandibles short and 

 blunt, simple. Dorsum of thorax closely punctured ; metathoracic en- 

 closure broad, granulose. Abdomen densely punctate, the punctures small 

 and deep. Hind tibial scopse simple outwardly; claws bifid; hind tibiae 

 with the inner spur distinctly flexed at about one third from apex. Vena- 

 tion normal. 



Length, 9.5-10.5 mm. 



Type locality, Dubois, 111., May 15, 1916, and May 24, 191 7 

 (C. A. Hart and J. R. Malloch). On flowers of raspberry and 

 Cratosgus. 



This species bears a striking superficial resemblance to cressoni 

 Robertson, but may be readily separated from it and from all 

 other species known to me by the flexure of the hind tibial spur. 



The male is unknown to me.
